Garden Glow
For the first time, the Missouri Botanical Garden presented “Garden Glow,” Christmas light display. We reserved tickets in advance. We took Beth and Steve, Megan and Nicholas, and Beki. It was well worth the trip. They had several beautiful displays as well as an outdoor concert with a DJ in a snow globe. There were fire pits along the way and hot chocolate stands to help keep warm.
Time with Friends
Most of you know, one of my favorite places to go is the Missouri Botanical Garden. I promised a friend of mine who is moving soon one last visit. We spent the afternoon with her parents and the kids. It threatened to rain all morning, but once we got there, it was beautiful.
Being retired military, I’m used to people coming and going in our lives. But, it’s never easy and saying goodbye to this family is no exception. We have grown to love them and their beautiful babies…each a miracle in their own way. We will sure miss them and hope to see them again. Our prayers go with you as you begin a new chapter.

Did you know that there are over 20,000 species of orchids, more than twice the number of bird species and four times more than mammals. That’s pretty impressive. God must have loved these little guys!
I look forward to the Botanical Garden Orchid Show every year. The display is captivating and beautiful. I captured a few to share. There are so many it’s really hard to choose which ones to include. Wish I could share them all.
